wait, couldn't you just disassemble the strut on the vehicle? jack up the control arm, undo the shock absorber nut, lower the control arm, let the spring expand fully, replace shock absorber, jack up control arm to compress spring and reinstall nut?

or does the spring expand too long or something?
